NF A surprisingly funny and fresh self help guide that helps readers stop the pitfalls, bad thoughts, and monkey wrenches that hinder us from completing goals. It's a quick empowering read and it's a good reminder that even if we fail a goal on day two, we don't have to stop. We strive for perfection at the detriment of everything else. If we learn to accept that not all goals are perfect and we cut them in half or make it fun, we'll have far better success. My favorite chapter was on leaving your hiding places and ignoring noble obstacles because sometimes we are desperate to sabotage ourselves. That chapter really spoke to me. Overall I think this was a really helpful, fun, engaging book. Something I'll definitely refer back to! Anyone else have a book inside you? Anyone else have a dream that maybe you've started a hundred times or more...but never really quite completed? Anyone else chased by the spectre of perfection, that mean ugly voice that says if you can't do it perfectly, why bother? This book is for you, then. Dream, yes. But DO. The world needs to hear your voice. Now pardon me while I go write. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML:Year after year, readers pulled me aside at events and said, ??I??ve never had a problem starting. I??ve started a million things, but I never finish them. Why can??t I finish? According to studies, 92 percent of New Year??s resolutions fail. You??ve practically got a better shot at getting into Juilliard to become a ballerina than you do at finishing your goals. For years, I thought my problem was that I didn??t try hard enough. So I started getting up earlier. I drank enough energy drinks to kill a horse. I hired a life coach and ate more superfoods. Nothing worked, although I did develop a pretty nice eyelid tremor from all the caffeine. It was like my eye was waving at you, very, very quickly. Then, while leading a thirty-day online course to help people work on their goals, I learned something surprising: The most effective exercises were not those that pushed people to work harder. The ones that got people to the finish line did just the opposite?? they took the pressure off. Why? Because the sneakiest obstacle to meeting your goals is not laziness, but perfectionism. We??re our own worst critics, and if it looks like we??re not going to do something right, we prefer not to do it at all. That??s why we??re most likely to quit on day two, ??the day after perfect???when our results almost always underperform our aspirations. The strategies in this book are counterintuitive and might feel like cheating. But they??re based on studies conducted by a university researcher with hundreds of participants. You might not guess that having more fun, eliminating your secret rules, and choosing something to bomb intentionally works. But the data says otherwise. People who have fun are 43 percent more successful! Imagine if your diet, guitar playing, or small business was 43 percent more successful just by following a few simple principles. If you??re tired of being a chronic starter and want to become a consistent finisher, you have two options: You can continue to beat yourself up and try harder, since this time tha No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
